"The Adoration of the Golden Calf" is a 1660 painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain, also known as Claude Gellée or simply Claude. This work is a notable example of Claude's mature period, where he combined his mastery of landscape with classical and biblical themes. The painting depicts the biblical episode of the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf, as described in the Book of Exodus, during Moses' absence when he ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments.

In this painting, Claude Lorrain showcases his skill in rendering atmospheric effects and harmonious landscapes, which became hallmarks of his style and had a significant influence on the development of landscape painting. The composition is carefully constructed, with the idol of the Golden Calf placed in the middle ground, surrounded by figures engaged in various activities of worship and revelry. The landscape extends into the background, leading the viewer's eye towards a luminous and serene sky, which contrasts with the moral corruption of the scene depicted.

The work is imbued with a sense of classical idealism, despite its depiction of a moment of collective sin. Claude's use of light, his rendering of naturalistic details, and his ability to create a sense of depth and vastness in the landscape are all elements that contribute to the painting's enduring reputation. "The Adoration of the Golden Calf" is not only a testament to Claude Lorrain's artistic achievements but also reflects the Baroque era's interest in dramatic narrative and the natural world.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the canon of Western art.
